Around 13% of the flagship cryptocurrency\u2019s circulating supply has returned to a state of profit, meaning it was acquired below the current price of Bitcoin ($BTC), which at the time of writing is slightly above $18,000.<\/p>\n
According to data from on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, after Bitcoin\u2019s recent rally to surpass the $18,000 mark, a significant percentage of the cryptocurrency\u2019s supply returned to profit in a move that \u201chelps to confirm that a large volume of $BTC was acquired between $16.5k and $18.2k.\u201d<\/p>\n
The accumulation could have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency\u2019s future price performance, as the area could now turn into a strong support zone in which demand far outweighs supply. Checkmate, Glassnode\u2019s leading on-chain analyst, commented:<\/p>\n
As Cointelegraph reported, the terms \u201ccapitulation\u201d and \u201caccumulation\u201d refer to classic market cycles, according to theory from technician Richard Wyckoff, who wrote about financial markets in the early decades of the 20th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n As CryptoGlobe reported, popular cryptocurrency analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe has predicted that the price of the flagship cryptocurrency\u00a0could go through a \u201cmassive bull cycle\u201d between 2024 and 2025 to trade between $250,000 and $300,000.<\/p>\n Notably, various other analysts are bullish on BTC.
